Good stay

For money paid it was a very good accomodation. I had a problem to locate the riad on Google maps. The correct location was given when I changed the spelling to double "l": Dar Lalla Wafae. Breakfast was big and delicios. Polite and helpful people.

Beautiful Riad with Beautiful Hosts

The proprietors were very accomodating and we stayed 3 nights. Our driver called ahead of time and someone met us to make finding the riad easier which was so less stressful. Their native language is French, so brush up on it or download your Google Translate! They do not take credit cards, so have cash ready. You cannot do your own laundry, but who wants to and no one has the time, so pay up! It's not expensive anyways. Their breakfast is OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING and if you go away hungry, its your fault! They even got up early to cook for us since we had to depart for our next city, early. How sweet is that!? Our family room would have been a bit tight for 5 ppl, but we only had 3 and we were still walking over each other sometimes, but the A/C was awesome as we were dying from walking so much. The bathroom was great and so was the shower pressure. Make sure you can climb stairs to get to our room, but they have a couple rooms below, I believe, but next to reception. All in all, it was a beautiful stay and we just loved Fatima and her husband. The riad is super close to the Blue Gate so walking there is not an issue once someone shows you.

Not 'modern' by typical US standards, but absolutely lovely in every other way. Quiet, safe, and steps away from the Blue gate. Rashid was an excellent host! Breakfast was amazing! The rooftop terrace was special. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Excellent Service. 10 out of 10!

Fatima, the hostess, made us almost feel part of a family and provided excellent service - above the expected or required. The hotel is basic, but is ideally situated just outside the blue gate of the old medina (so taxis can drive you almost to the door of the hotel). A 2 minute walk and you are at the interesting sites of the medina.

Fomos muito bem atendidos, nos trataram como pessoas da família. Foi extremamente solicito desde antes da chegada, nos ajudou com tudo. Nos indicou um guia confiável, nos orientou com relação a passeios e com locais para comer. O pequeno almoço é espetacular, sempre muito bem servido. O café é divino e o chá de manta também. Indicamos para todos, viagem em família ou amigos. Rashid, Fátima e Lala Wafae são pessoas simpáticas, atenciosas, educadas e genuinamente honestas.

Guter Aufenthalt in Fes, top Lage!

Einfache, aber sehr authentische Unterkunft mit super Lage (vor allem wenn man mit dem Auto nach Fes fährt). Nette Besitzer, gutes Frühstück. Die Räumlichkeiten sind etwas einfach und älter, aber dafür hat man ein perfektes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und das frisch zubereitete Frühstück auf einer schönen Dachterasse.
